I'm 35 and have been on finasteride/minoxidil/Nizoral for years. Haven't progressed much since I turned 30, most of the damage was done in my 20s and I should have hopped on drugs sooner.
I have the cash together and am starting to look into surgeons. Am I too far gone or would a transplant potentially help this situation? Is this a Norwood 4/5?
Initial it was just straight mpd, receeding temples. No crown loss or diffuse thinning. Then it started thinning in an inverted y shape (much worse on the right). Drugs saved the crown for the most part (for the time being).
Also, any clue what the detached low density spot is on the right side? These pics are about 1.5-2 weeks after completely shaving my head and at first I thought maybe I went against the grain and shaved deeper in that spot but it does appear to just be a weird thinned out patch.
I've always had a big/high forehead unfortunately
